ZAPPING
Did this drawing at the bar the other night... brought it into photoshop to see what color looked like on it, and if i didn't like it anymore, but it is still fun and i might have to make it into some vector art in Illustrator.

WHALE PENIS
This press release is mindblowing:
ARMORED CAR WITHOUT PENIS. LET'S SAVE THE WHALES.Jalopnik has a rundown of the insane options that come on this vehicle:
One month ago DARTZ presented uberluxury armored car with whale penis interior - PROMBRON' (ex.RussoBaltique), lot of people name this car as DARTZ.KOMBAT. As the world's resonance was very huge and DARTZ got lot of angry e-mails from Greenpeace, WWF and also Pamela Anderson, DARTZ make strong decision to stop their plans regarding such interior.
"We have no any ideas to kill the whale or something like that. All we want - to make just luxury car. Real luxury car which will be world number one car. Our brand was started at 1869 when in Riga was opened Coach Factory or Russo Baltiysky Vagonnij Zavod - PBVZ, and first products was luxury train coaches. At 1907 was made a decision to open Car Department, and at 1909 first car left factory - the name of this car was RussoBalt. This was luxury and sport cars. At 1911 specially for Monaco Rally car got french style name - RussoBaltique. At 1912 factory made world first 4 x 4 wheel drive car, and at 1914 - armored car. All we want to unite luxury and armoring traditions of RussoBalt factory in one car, which brand celebrated 100 years now. At 1922 RussoBalt was renamed to PROMBRON' (ex.RussoBalt).
We just looking for most expensive products for this car - and that's why we choosed whale penis leathure when we checked it is most of most. After wave of protest we realised our mistake and make a decision not to use natural leathure at all. We will focus on world most advanced nanotechnologies to achieve interior highest quality using artificial materials which also was never used for cars. We want to tell our hello to all whales: "Our Sea Brothers! We all know that earth are stand on three whales - we will keep You live! We don't Earth fall down to Ocean!"
Also we make a decision to pay more attention to glass and on our new car model we will use glass which will be made by special technology - from artificial grown chrystals, which will be gold sputerred to cut IR and UV rays, which make driving inconvinient when sun shine.
Best regards,
Leonard F. Yankelovich

ROCKING
New favorite band... Gypsy Blood (such a crazy name). 
They are an old Japanese Psych-Rock band. Totally awesome.
Check out the album here: Gypsy Blood - Rokko Oroshi (1972)
Go buy the album at Rough Trade. Because we all know now that those of you who illegally download music are also compulsive music shoppers.
BOOOM
So two weeks ago we were headed for breakfast and saw this "car" parked at a bank and we immediately had to pull over to check it out. As we approach the guy is sitting in it on a call on his phone, and when he was done he was nice enough to talk to us about the masterpiece. 
The thing has a V-8 packed into it's innards and has surpassed the 200mph mark. He has been driving it as a daily driver for over 20 years. All in all it was totally rad to find this thing just parked there. I can't believe i have never seen it before around town.

FWOOOSH
Living in one of the epicenters of gas drilling i was pretty blown away by this video of a guy setting his tap water on fire. You should also be.
CAN YOU DO THIS WITH YOUR TAP WATER? from JOSHFOX on Vimeo.
This video was up on the Consumerist last week. Well oddly enough today in the latest edition of our local alternative newsmag they had an article about the ills of gas drilling. Then i see the video again on my feed reader today when Apartment Therapy blogs about it.The story in the FW Weekly was shocking. There is a lot of stuff not being mentioned with all this drilling. Stuff about catastrophic accidents every 6 months, corroding pipes, awful infrastructure and horrific eminent domain stuff. I suggest you go read that article here.
"What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?" says the 86 year old Republican at a meeting about Maine's Marriage Equality Bill.
If you watch this and still don't believe in equal rights for marriage you are a jerk.

GHOSTS OF COMICS PASTS
I keep forgetting to post about this... but Rags Morales (artist on the mostly meh Identity Crisis) is working on some kinda Noir style book for DC. The released preview art is enough to sell me on whatever it is...
more at Newsarama.
DOOM HOTEL
So this "hotel" which has been in process for 20 years in the N. Korean capital has finally resumed work. It is a colossal failure and makes pretty much every worst building ever list. Now, much like the rest of the city, they are cleaning up the facade but aren't keen to give firm details about it being useful. They do say the rotating restaurant will function come 2010. Go read the BBC article for more info.
Why didn't i ever work somewhere like the Hotel of Doom?? Think of how little customer service must be involved in that job. Don't like the beds? Too bad. The Great Leader chose them. It is that or forced labor camps.
God bless you North Korea and your "antics". Speaking of... read Guy Delisle's fantastic graphic novel about living there for a bit.
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea
YELLOW CAKE
Fantastic animation in this video about the curse of Yellow Cake. This has everything a good liberal wants... geopolitics, socialism, bullying, pretty cartoons! Just watch and see.

JESUS WALKIN ON THE WATER
one picture... two versions of captions.
version 1: original
version 2: revised for reality
Because remember... it isn't good art if you don't have to explain it in detail and hand hold your audience.

You can say what you want about the French... but in the end they'll be remembered for stuff like this:
Look at that steering wheel design... amazing. The whole aesthetic of this thing is so unbelievably French. Fantastic.

A REMINDER
click on the pic to check out the studio tour on Beautiful Decay that inspired this quicky.
WASHOUT
It is still really surreal seeing a felled tree just chilling in your backyard. The tree looked especially cool this morning lit up by my headlights in the pre-dawn. I should try to get long exposure photo of it. Have to admit I kind of like it though, part of me wishes we could work it into the landscaping.
Anway it is Monday... and it is really grey outside. Here is some practice this morning followed by a link-dump.

- Preview Art for Grant Morrison's new Joe the Barbarian leaves me wondering how in the world this has escaped my knowledge until now. It looks like a fantastic trip. via the Vertigo Blog

CATCH
Ok so this video was linked by Lisa Katayama at Tokyomango...
It is awesome, and uses the same techniques as the ever infamous "catching netbooks with your ass" commerical for MSI.

WORKING TITLE
For my intro Photoshop class... first assignment was design a movie poster. 
Created the title and cast shadow stuff with dry brush technique... the rest is pretty basic. I am feeling like the cast shadows of the letters is making a mess of the design, but at the same time i like it. Can't wait to print this sucker poster size.

HULK BRUSH!!
Just trying out a brush and ink/ink washing. Laid colors down in Photoshop.
It is different than what i usually do... it is interesting to find that using Illustrator has helped me draw better. 
based the drawing off this Kirby panel.

I HOPE THAT THEY DON'T TAKE US INTO THE COURT
The post title brought to you by Bitchin' Camaro.
Since i did the Marvel mash-up i thought i would try my hand at making the orig. It sort of has my "flavor". I used no reference for it... so take that as you will.

I mentioned something about Sven yesterday. He is my favorite, yet oh so short lived, Voltron pilot. So i was joking i needed some kind of a poster in support of my favorite Blue Lion pilot.

ROCK DUDES
I spend lots of time mocking up comic book heroes and villains in Illustrator, so i decided to try something out of my comfort zone... musicians. My skills with likeness are awful... but practice makes perfect right? Well here is far from perfect.
Number 1 is Keith Moon and 2 is Donovan.
